Yeah, it's a pretty bad dent, but we'll get it fixed or replaced eventually. It's the reason we could actually afford it, lol.Originally posted by Rob S. View PostYes.
Yikes!

Hello and welcome! I am a former GSX1100G owner. As you will soon find out this bike only had a 3 year run so parts can be a challenge. It is a torque Monster as it was Suzuki's attempt to knock Yamaha's XS1100 (actually the V Max I think)off the podium at the fastest production shaft drive. They came close, the big G was the Second fastest shaft drive bike. The motor is a detuned version of the GSXR engine adapted to shaft drive. I don't think you will find model specific forum for them but there is a very active Email group that this guy runs.

Yes I've already noticed parts are few and far between, and expensive if you can find them! Thank you for the link, I appreciate it!Originally posted by marvinsc View PostComment

You will find more than enough help and knowledge here for that monster. There are plenty of people here that have had, and have them. It really is just a cross between a GS, and a GSXR. Plenty of us here have GSXR's and know that engine quite well.
To bad about that tank. Rough repair, and even harder to find a replacement. You will be forced to scour the Fleabay for one. But, good luck with that. She's still a beaut...'83 GS 1100T

You are perfectly welcome here.Originally posted by RedGSX1100G View Post
Lots of knolodgeable folks here that are wiling to help. But will only be a few that have specific expereince with the 90s GSX G.
None of the 80s GSs are watercooled for example. Some folks here have lots of expereince with lots of bikes.

Thanks! I've been browsing the Facebook links and already learned a lot! Luckily if I can't find a reasonably priced tank, I have a friend who does body work professionally. I'm sure he'd be happy to help 😊Originally posted by Spyder View PostComment

That tank would make a professional dentmaster blink. Then he'd just get on with it and sort it. The work some of them can do is amazing.Originally posted by RedGSX1100G View Post---- Dave

Go on. You probably have to rub your hand over it just to find where it is.Originally posted by Grimly View Post

I had a perfect reply for that, but it's not exactly appropriate so I'll keep it to myself!Originally posted by oldGSfan View Post
I was just thinking since most of you guys have a list bikes in your sigs, I forgot about my GPZ. The GSX reminds me a lot of my first bike, which was a Kawasaki GPZ 550 (terrible first bike!) But yeah, they rode really similar, except the GPZ wasn't so stupid fast, and ergonomically it wasn't comfortable for me. I wrecked it, surprise surprise, lol. In my defense that was like, 20 years ago and that rock should not have been where it was lol.
I'm pretty sure I'm lucky I had just bought a 3 pound carbon fiber helmet, or I'd have broken my neck on the test ride lol.Comment

One more picture, my bike and I. I made a different thread about my "license plate" lol, if anyone is interested in my lame level of creativity.
PS: I don't live here, I just had a person convenient to take a picture for me because I just delivered her supplies lol.Comment

I know this doesn't really belong here, but it's the reason I bought this Suzuki. My Yamaha wouldn't start, and we all pretty much thought it was the starter clutch. Nope, just the starter! Oops. So, we jumped the gun a bit, but we're still keeping the GSX-G for sure! Can't have too many bikes, right? 😉Comment
